Christmas Cookies

four types of Christmas cookies

Here are four tasty cookie recipes that are perfect for the holiday season.  One of the recipes is a no-bake cookie and two of the recipes only have three ingredients.  It doesn’t get better than that!  Warning: if you don’t like chocolate, these cookies are not for you.

Key Lime Pie Cupcakes

For last month’s book club I had to make a southern food to fit the theme of the night. Whenever my family goes to Florida (though it’s been many years for me) we make a point to “test out” the key lime pie at basically every restaurant we go to. We are always on the search for the best one, though none are bad.

I thought I should try making key lime pie cupcakes. Please note – I understand that in no way should this recipe be called “key lime” maybe I should just name it “lime cupcakes” but for some reason that doesn’t sound appetizing to me. Take a look at my version of super simple key lime pie cupcakes.

M&M Pretzel Ring Bites

Super simple to make, these yummy M&M Pretzel Ring Bites is the Christmas cookie recipe you’ve been waiting for. Great to make with kids, the pretzel ring cookies are also the perfect size to pop in your mouth.  The only problem is knowing when to stop.

Irish Cream Poke Cake

I love a good poke cake. Poke cakes are simple (yay for boxed cake mix!), moist, and delicious. Now you can have a great boozy poke cake perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. Irish cream poke cake takes a white cake mix and adds the flavors of mint and Irish cream to make this dessert top-notch.

Strawberry Parfaits

Strawberry Parfait

Strawberry parfaits are incredibly easy and fast desserts to make but can still pass as fancy in a pinch. If you need a “dessert for dummies” recipe this is the one.

Strawberry parfaits are kid-friendly, chocolate-free, and make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat for anyone. Class it up by putting the parfait in a wine glass and adding a strawberry fan to up the ante.
